I have this sentence:
Even if I seem too busy, or you made a mistake, or someone we care about will be upset, or you feel embarrassed, if anything bothers you, I want to know.
I believe that it is correctly punctuated as is, right?
I have a style question... Would the sentence be easier to parse if there was a dash between embarrassed and if instead of a comma? And is that an accepted punctuation choice for a sentence like this?
Even if I seem too busy, or you made a mistake, or someone we care about will be upset, or you feel embarrassed--if anything bothers you, I want to know.
Thank you for your help!
